motion against government in the Lok Sabha.

After the meeting, Kharge took to Twitter and wrote, “83 days of unabated violence in Manipur requires the Prime Minister (Narendra Modi) to make a comprehensive statement in the Parliament. Stories of absolute horror are now slowly trickling down. INDIA demands answers from the Modi government on Manipur violence.”
Terming the situation in Northeast “fragile” with the repercussions spilling to other states, the Leader of Opposition in the Upper House said, “This is not good for our sensitive border states. High time Prime Minister Modi sheds his ego and takes the country into confidence on Manipur.”
Prime Minister Modi must tell what is his government doing to improve the situation and when will normalcy return in Manipur, he added.
The Rajya Sabha strategy will also continue, the sources said.
The Opposition parties have been demanding a detailed statement from the Prime Minister in Parliament on the Manipur issue.
